How fitting. The modern necktie is descended from the neckerchief/ scarf given to Napoleon’s troopers. This served to identify them and allow them to collect various perquisites from the populace. The epaulets and cut of the jacket have a military flair.

That is so true.
I´m too always looking forward to see a new picture of Robert Rabensteiner´s sophisticated, relaxed and always inspiring looks.
And to me – although I do not know this man and will probably never meet him – he has such an optimistic aura.
So thank you, Scott, for making my day too.
cheers, dan
